Frostbite is a Novice-level destruction spell. Casting it projects a continuous beam of cold through one or two palms. It slows enemies down while doing a base damage of 8 points per second to the target's health and stamina. It costs 6 magicka per second. This spell is one of the basic Destruction spells along with Flames and Sparks.

BugsEdit

•  360  If the attack button is just barely tapped while the spell is equiped it may lock the animation in the hand to that of casting the spell, rather than the inactive animation.
  • Tapping again or casting the spell corrects this.
